Presentation Training

Presentation Training

Well structured and hugely beneficial preparation to deliver an interview presentation.

Both Andrew and Colin explain the detail of how to present with confidence, including the tone and speed of speach, eye contact and body language. You are filmed and after each presentation they provide analysis to help you improve further.

Would highly recommend 1 to 1 and group training to deliver best to your abilities when it matters the most and to generally improve your confidence in public speaking.

Excellent content and training staff. Highly recommended

I attended the 1 day presentation and media training course. It was taken by Andrew and i found the whole experience excellent! I was made to feel very comfortable and welcome and instantly put at ease by Hilary and Andrew. The course itself was very interesting and the improvement in my presenting skills from the start to the end of the day were amazing!
I feel much more capable of presenting to an audience now, and have also managed to make some pretty good online content for my company too.
I couldn't recommend this training highly enough for anyone looking for some guidance and advice on public speaking.

Excellent training

Very good. I attended a 1-day media training. It was the opportunity to get concrete advise and actionable insights about how I could better communicate externally (it was a very personalized training experience). Trainers were excellent and exercises were very relevant.

Best training I ever joined

Colin and Kenny are great coaches - this training has been so far the best I have ever joined. It has been amazing to see how using specific technics the message of a speech can massively improve. I reccommend this training to professionals who need to join public speaking sessions, but also internal ones with colleagues

Informative, practical and fun

We loved our training with Colin at Pink Elephant. It was super practical and we were given clear takeaways that will help us in our Comms/ Media work. The style was informal but professional and I appreciated all the scenarios, up to date examples from the media and critiquing of our recordings. All very positive and constructive. I have gone away and read Bill's book too which has reinforced some of the learning. Really fun and helpful. I am also now spotting Pink Elephants EVERYWHERE. Thank you!

Fantastic!

I have attended Pink Elephant four times this year and the courses are fantastic. I was a bit nervous about attending at first however the guys are exceptional at making you feel welcome and at ease. Very informative and would recommend to anyone who requires a bit of help and direction when it comes to public speaking and preparing presentations. Thanks to Andrew, Colin, Bill and Hilary. All the best.

I attended a communications and presentation skills training session with Pink Elephant.
It was an excellent day, very well organised and most importantly the content and delivery by Andrew and Colin was first class.
I have attended many other events by other providers, but this was by far the best I have attended, and most importantly I have taken many hints and tips away with me to help me in my work and personal life.

One day writing skills course - highly recommended

I really enjoyed the one day writing skills course. It was well-paced, and the practical exercises were very useful for consolidating the key learning points. Andrew made all the participants feel comfortable and able to contribute. Fun and informative, I would definitely recommend. Thank you

Excellent media and presentation training

I attended a one day presentation and media training. In only 1 day was able to learn a lot of very useful and more important actionable practice and put them in practice rigth away.
The constant and very precise feedback really helps to improve in a positive spirit.
I would highly recommend

Media training - fantastic

1 x day media training - fantastic, lots of learning, awareness from the two trainers who complemented each other and were very engaging. The day went very quickly and we all learnt something we can use in daily life as well as interviews and presentations.
Thank you.

Pink Elephant Ride

I’ve just completed 2 days training 'Audience engagement' with ’Pink Elephant’. I am very impressed with the quality of their training. It’s engaging, challenging and encouraging! The training was conducted in professional and positive manner. It makes you to step out of your comfort zone, identify your imperfections in your presentation skills and learn new techniques to improve them. Would highly recommend it to everyone who is looking for to improve interview, social and presentation skills, boost confidence or just looking for tips on how to engage audience.

Presentation Training

Completed presentation training with these guys, some great tips on structure and content, voice, stance, eye contact etc. Presented to a full room 2 weeks later, something I would never have dreamt of prior to this.

Excellent media and communication training

I attended a one-day media and communication training.
Trainers were excellent at explaining concepts and providing guidance, giving concrete examples. Hands-on, practice sessions were particularly helpful; trainers were excellent at providing personalized and actionable feedback.

Pink Elephants? Not once you know what you're doing!

I attended a one-day course recently which was run by Bill McFarlan

The course was highly instructive and insightful and Bill has a marvellous store of stories that both maintained the interest while providing real-life examples

If you get the chance to attend a course - grab it with both hands

Thanks for your media training review, Mino, and I'm delighted the training went so well in Kirkcaldy. It was also great to speak with you over the phone from Glasgow, and to hear more about some of the issues you're addressing in Fife. Bill and I will look forward to working with you again. Many thanks, Andrew

How to pitch for business

I recently attended a workshop 'How to pitch for Business'.
This has really helped with my presentation skills, I am more confident in addressing an audience and have now changed my approach when talking about business. Bill was great at explaining how to put your message across without it sounding too commercial and too boring and to engage with the audience. Thank you, this has made a huge difference to my approach.

Fun, engaging, informative

I thoroughly recommend Pink Elephant Communications. Together with 3 colleagues, I took part in a Presentation Skills and Media Training day with Andrew McFarlan and Alan Clark. From the outset, Andrew and Alan were fantastic, putting us all at ease and introducing the Pink Elephant Golden Rules in a fun, engaging and informative way. This training is ideal for all levels of experience in presenting, and everyone can learn techniques from the team. Pink Elephant training is by far the best presentation skills training I've undertaken.
